+=== 1.3.0.beta
+
+* Enhancements
+  * Usage of Hoe and rake-compiler to ease releasing and extension
+  compilation.
+
+* Bugfixes:
+  * Works with Ruby 1.9
+
+* Known issues:
+  * win32console no longer automatically translate encoding to the console
+    output enconding. Please use Iconv to convert from your encoding (eg. UTF8)
+    to current console output:
+
+      current_cp = Win32::Console::OutputCP()
+      Iconv.iconv("cp#{current_cp}", "utf-8", utf_string)
+
+    A working example can be seen here: http://gist.github.com/265593
+
+=== 1.2.0 / 2008-11-22
+
+* Enhancements
+  * Better code organization and clenaup
+
+* Bugfixes:
+  * Removed license conflicting ANSI Term code and functionality.
+
+=== 1.1.0 / 2008-03-17
+
+* Enhancements:
+  * Added Kernel#putc
+    Redefined Kernel#putc to wrap Win32::Console::ANSI::IO#putc
+
+  * Added #putc to Win32::Console::ANSI::IO 
+    This putc buffers escape sequences so that they will be handled properly
+
+  * Added #redirected? to Win32::Console::ANSI::IO
+    Checks the mode of the console to see if IO is being redirected or not
+
+  * Added Win32::Console::API#WriteFile
+    to both the Ruby and compiled versions
+
+  * Added Win32::Console#WriteFile
+    This is a wrapper around Win32::Console::API#WriteFile
+
+  * Split Win32::Console::Constants and Win32::Console::API out into 
+    seperate files. These two classes were in 'Win32/Console.rb'
+    I moved them into 'Win32/Console/constants.rb' and 'Win32/Console/api.rb'
+    respectively.
+
+  * Cleaned up indentation
+    indentations was a mixture of tabs and spaces. I made everything indented
+    with 2 spaces.
+
+* Bugfixes:
+  * Fixed "Invalid Handle" error in compiled version of GetConsoleMode
+    I'm actually not sure of the source of this error.
+    It may be expected behavior when output is being redirected.
+    I worked around it by rescuing the exception in Win32::Console#Mode and
+    returning 9999. I picked that arbitrary value, because it is
+    higher than 31, which is what I think is the highest value Mode would
+    return if output isn't being redirected.
+    [Gordon Thiesfeld]
+
+  * Modified Win32::Console::ANSI::IO#write to check for redirection.
+    If output is redirected, it uses WriteFile instead of WriteConosle.
+    It also skips the parsing step, and passes the escape sequences through.
+    [Gordon Thiesfeld]
+
+  * Modified Win32::Console::ANSI::IO#_PrintString
+    Didn't change behavior, just tried to make it more idiomatic ruby.
+    I didn't make all of the changes I wanted to, because I wasn't sure 
+    how to test them all.
+    [Gordon Thiesfeld]
+
+  * Modified all Win32::Console::API methods
+    [Gordon Thiesfeld]
+
+    It was assigning Win32API functions to class variables.  I switched them to instance variables. I also changed the idiom it was using to instantiate the objects.
+    For instance, instead of:
+
+      if @@m_AllocConsole == nil
+      @@m_AllocConsole = Win32API.new( "kernel32", "AllocConsole", 
+              [], 'l' )
+
+    It is now:
+
+      @AllocConsole ||= Win32API.new( "kernel32", "AllocConsole", [], 'l' )
+
+  * Non-string arguments passed to Win32::Console::ANSI#write caused error
+    fix by Ivan Evtuhovich (evtuhovich at gmail dot com).
+
+=== 1.0.8 / 2006-06-05
+
+* New features:
+  * First public release of win32console gem by Justin Bailey.
+
+=== 1.0
+
+* New features:
+  * Added .dup to _printString function to avoid mangling outside
+    string references. Removed the other (later) .dup call.
+
+* Bugfixes:
+  * Turned of some exceptions that were conflicting with using the module
+    with pipes or redirections.
+
+=== 0.8
+
+* Enhancements:
+  * Added ruby docs, and sample test suite.
+
+* Bugfixes:
+  * Fixed bugs in reading routines, 
+
+=== 0.5
+
+New features:
+  * First public release.

+= Win32::Console
+
+* http://rubyforge.org/projects/winconsole
+* http://github.com/luislavena/win32console
+* http://rdoc.info/projects/luislavena/win32console
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+Win32::Console allows controling the windows command line terminal
+thru an OO-interface. This allows you to query the terminal (find
+its size, characters, attributes, etc). The interface and functionality
+should be identical to Perl's counterpart.
+
+A port of Perl's Win32::Console and Win32::Console::ANSI modules.
+
+This gem packages Gonzalo Garramuno's Win32::Console project, and includes
+a compiled binary for speed. The Win32::Console project's home can be
+found at:
+
+  http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32console
+
+== FEATURES
+
+Win32::Console::ANSI is a class derived from IO that seamlessly
+translates ANSI Esc control character codes into Windows' command.exe
+or cmd.exe equivalents.
+
+To ease usage, you can use in combination with term-ansicolor gem and avoid
+writing ANSI codes manually.
+
+== EXAMPLES
+
+To output a simple bolded string, try this script:
+
+  require 'rubygems'
+  require 'win32console'
+  include Win32::Console::ANSI
+  include Term::ANSIColor
+
+  puts bold << "bolded text" << clear << " and no longer bold."
+
+== INSTALL
+
+  gem install win32console
+
+== DEVELOPERS:
+
+After checking out the source, run:
+
+  $ rake newb
